The ship is attacked by pirates, and the party, helped by a paladin named Kahael (called K by Mimi). They keep one of the pirates alive and tortue him into giving them information, eventually finding out that the Delateri family was behind the raids on their own ships. Mimi, Shaco, and Mel have a drinking contest that Shaco cheats at. They head to Tunstead so that Shaco can do a favour for Bylle.
